Happy Railway 200 day. @railway200.bsky.social @eastsuffolklines.co.uk @pickgs.bsky.social

An ominous restaurant sign in Southwold...

This clown feels down, in Southwold.

At the end of the day, in Southwold.

For gourd's sake - help yourself! Vegetable disposal desperation in Suffolk.

A streaky Suffolk sunrise this morning, near Halesworth.

We had a fascinating visit to #StoneyLittleton #LongBarrow today. Our @englishheritage.bsky.social guide was clearly passionate about the barrow, and shared with us a wealth of information about the people who built it and its discovery and restoration

(Dog) box of delights at Ipswich today. @thattallbloke.bsky.social @suffolkraider.bsky.social @rangercaps66.bsky.social

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall. It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?

The ‘Wirksworth Stone’ - a sculptured stone-slab from St. Mary’s Church at Wirksworth in Derbyshire. Comprising of biblical scenes and figures, the stone dates from the C7th to C9th and may have originally been used as a coffin lid. 📸 My own. #SaxonSunday #SundayStonework

The clickety clack soundtrack of @eastsuffolklines.co.uk is being silenced, bit by bit, as the line is modernised. Here's @greateranglia.bsky.social 755409 thundering through a section of old jointed track at Bramfield, on the 8.05am Lowestoft to Ipswich today. @railway200.bsky.social #railway200

Learnt so much today from fascinating #HeritageOpenDays in Suffolk. St Benet's, Beccles; St Andrews, Ilketshall with fab wall paintings and St Mary's Halesworth, I now know we buy our newspaper from the once medieval Guildhall. Thanks to all the volunteers.

SPOTTED! Record-breaking numbers of Glossy Ibises are arriving across the UK 🤩 Large flocks, some up to 90 strong, have been turning up from Cornwall to Scotland... Though rare here, their numbers have been booming further south & our milder winters could mean more in future. 📹 Phil Saunders
